  • 2 Chr 33:12-19 : 12 In his pain Manasseh asked the LORD his God for mercy and truly humbled himself before the God of his ancestors. 13 When he prayed to the LORD, the LORD responded to him and answered favorably his cry for mercy. The LORD brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh realized that the LORD is the true God. 14 After this Manasseh built up the outer wall of the City of David on the west side of the Gihon in the valley to the entrance of the Fish Gate and all around the terrace; he made it much higher. He placed army officers in all the fortified cities in Judah. 15 He removed the foreign gods and images from the LORD’s temple and all the altars he had built on the hill of the LORD’s temple and in Jerusalem; he threw them outside the city. 16 He erected the altar of the LORD and offered on it peace offerings and thank offerings. He told the people of Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel. 17 However, the people continued to offer sacrifices at the high places, but only to the LORD their God. 18 The rest of the events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the prophets spoke to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, are recorded in the Annals of the Kings of Israel. 19 The Annals of the Prophets include his prayer, give an account of how the LORD responded to it, record all his sins and unfaithful acts, and identify the sites where he built high places and erected Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself.

    6And about five o’clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them,‘Why are you standing here all day without work?’

    7They said to him,‘Because no one hired us.’ He said to them,‘You go and work in the vineyard too.’

    8When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager,‘Call the workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.’

    9When those hired about five o’clock came, each received a full day’s pay.

    10And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage.

    11When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner,

    12saying,‘These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.’

    13And the landowner replied to one of them,‘Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn’t you agree with me to work for the standard wage?

    14Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave to you.

    15Am I not permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

    10When harvest time came, he sent a slave to the tenants so that they would give him his portion of the crop. However, the tenants beat his slave and sent him away empty-handed.

    12So he sent still a third. They even wounded this one, and threw him out.

    13Then the owner of the vineyard said,‘What should I do? I will send my one dear son; perhaps they will respect him.’
